Gah, started reading the books and can't stop seeing every character as their actor/actress. Also the show version of Robert coming to winterfell was much better than the book... "you're fat," and Sean Bean's expression sum up several pages of internal thoughts perfectly.
I just read the book last month... and (correcting for hair) that's almost exactly the face I imagined. Eerie.
I think of him as being darker in skin tone, probably Arab looking for some reason. Possibly just the name? I definitely think of the free cities as being really Mediterranean.

Hah! I wish. Mostly he got into a strangely tense discussion with a guy who kept insisting that Westeros was like the historical United States. GRRM was like, "Actually many people think it's quite similar to the War of the Roses and-" "NO! I am right and you are wrong the end!"
It didn't go quite like that but you get my drift...

I can't see how anyone could possibly compare Westeros to the US. Like, not even a little bit.

The real question is how can anyone argue with the author about what his inspirational source material was...
IIRC the argument was that everyone speaks the same language on the same continent or something. I dunno. I was too busy staring at George's sexy, sexy beard.
If anyone would like to start the new TV show thread you're welcome to crib whatever from the OP. I'm quite sick of thread-owner notifications. :P Makes me miss all the e-flirting from the hot ladies.
It's hard to talk to my coworkers about the series without spoilering stuff. Especially because they usually explicitly ask me to tell them what is going to happen next.
They are adorable.
Some of them think Ned is going get magic'd back to life.

As said before, the way to resolve their demand for spoilers with your dislike of spoiling is to tell them huge lies. One of the girls at work here is feverishly reading through book 2 so she can get to the part where
Theon & Jon
admit the truth about their real feelings for each other, for instance. Another guy told me "Yeah I could see that coming" when I told him that book 4 ends with
Melissandre
starting to turn into a dragon.
Thinking up good fake spoilers is challenging and fun, plus there's always the hilarious possibility of accidentally second-guessing something that actually happens in Book 6
My brother had season one DVR'ed, was watching it after the entire season aired. A few episodes before the finale, someone at work sent him an e-mail that was not spoiler labeled that had a pic of the last scene of the season - of Dany and her cliffhanger. I told him it was a dream sequence.
Watching season 5 of Dr Who and there's this soldier's who looks familiar, but he's in a camo and a helmet, and his voice just keeps making me swear I've heard it recently. I eventually cheated and used IMDB, but he's Jorah. And now I can't unsee it.

He crops up all over the place. When I first him I found it hard to not think of his other characters.

Jorah was the bad guy in the first Tomb Raider movie. That was my first thought when I saw him on GoT.

Should get a picture of facepalm-Picard and post it note it near the back cover somewhere.
As for the folks across the narrow sea, it always seemed to me that that was more Africa/India in terms of who populates the region. People are described as bronzed to black as onyx when discussing the various locals.

I buy it.
They're really good at that. Most of the cast has been that way for me, especially the Lannisters.
... and now no more book talk in here from me.

glad you liked
Did someone already post "Damn It Feels Good to be a Lannister"?
He crops up all over the place. When I first him I found it hard to not think of his other characters.

Apparently he was originally cast as Maester Pycelle but had to pass due to illness. I guess he also does a bunch of stuff on the audiobooks.
so what you're saying is ned stark needs to stop being a little bitch and faking being decapitated and play basketball the game of thrones like a man?
AFAIK he reads them all.
I'm sorry, I can't stop seeing that guy as the beast or the king from hellboy 2... So that'll be interesting come season 2
is the guy they just cast. And my bad he wasn't Beast, he was the dad or something.

Also, I'm pretty sure she did, like, one porn. And no one has ever seen it, or heard of it, so she's hardly a "star."
EDIT: To be fair, I read her wiki article like 3 months ago. So I could be remembering literally every single fact wrong.
